Happy Pecan Day. Let's celebrate with . . .

Today's Nutty Question(s):
Okay, I have to ask the obligatory pecan question: If you like pecans, what do you like them in or with and do you like them plain?

Have you seen any pecan trees?

Have you ever been able to smell your neighbors' cooking (while you're outside counts) ?

Ever thought you'd like to join the neighbors for dinner because their food smelled so good (or maybe it didn't smell so good)?

What kind of pie do you remember having ala mode, with ice cream?

What recent or memorable flavors of ice cream did you enjoy?

Do you remember anything you ate while drinking coffee?

Have you ever eaten ice cream while drinking coffee?

Are there any foods and/or beverages you particularly like to pair together?

When I was in high school I was sent to talk to an academic counselor about class electives or something, I don't remember, but I'll never forget this: The guy sat there eating chocolate chip cookies and drinking coffee. I was jealous. You ever been jealous of something good someone was eating or drinking, and if so can you give us a for instance?

Today's Saying:
"Do no harm, but take no bull."

Enjoy this nutty day.

I don't really like them.


Have you seen any pecan trees?

no. There's a black walnut tree. I don't like them either.


Have you ever been able to smell your neighbors' cooking (while you're outside counts) ?

no.


Ever thought you'd like to join the neighbors for dinner because their food smelled so good (or maybe it didn't smell so good)?

No. I would only like to join them in a moving out party.


What kind of pie do you remember having ala mode, with ice cream?

apple pie, vanilla ice cream. Ages ago. Way too sweet.


What recent or memorable flavors of ice cream did you enjoy?

Haven't had it in ages but Schwan's make a Raspberry Rumble that's yummy.

I don't drink coffee.


Have you ever eaten ice cream while drinking coffee?

When I was in high school I was sent to talk to an academic counselor about class electives or something, I don't remember, but I'll never forget this: The guy sat there eating chocolate chip cookies and drinking coffee. I was jealous. You ever been jealous of something good someone was eating or drinking, and if so can you give us a for instance?

That was rude of him, and unprofessional.
Not that I can think of.

Today's Nutty Question(s):

Not a fan.

Have you seen any pecan trees? I don't know what they look like. After I finish this I'll go look at one on Google Images. Edit: Now I realize why I don't know what they look like.

"Pecans are grown commercially in 15 states in the southern U.S. including Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Texas."

https://uspecans.org/how-pecans-are-...20and%20Texas.


Have you ever been able to smell your neighbors' cooking (while you're outside counts) ? Yes but usually if it only smells bad like fish or cabbage (I think).

Ever thought you'd like to join the neighbors for dinner because their food smelled so good (or maybe it didn't smell so good)? No

What kind of pie do you remember having ala mode, with ice cream? blueberry and apple

What recent or memorable flavors of ice cream did you enjoy? Banana. You know what really tastes good? If you freeze homemade banana pudding in a cup and eat it like ice cream. Don't know if any of you have a Calhoun's near you but their banana pudding is great. Take your dessert home and freeze it. Yum.

Do you remember anything you ate while drinking coffee? Don't drink coffee

Have you ever eaten ice cream while drinking coffee? Don't drink coffee

Are there any foods and/or beverages you particularly like to pair together? coca cola and pizza, corn and mashed potatoes, hot dogs and beans. pork chops and beans.

When I was in high school I was sent to talk to an academic counselor about class electives or something, I don't remember, but I'll never forget this: The guy sat there eating chocolate chip cookies and drinking coffee. I was jealous. You ever been jealous of something good someone was eating or drinking, and if so can you give us a for instance? Never would be jealous of that.

Sometimes you feel like a nut

Morning.


Today's Nutty Question(s):

Okay, I have to ask the obligatory pecan question: If you like pecans, what do you like them in or with and do you like them plain? On warm pie, with bourbon and van ice cream. Love pecans any way tho.

Have you seen any pecan trees? I don't recall

Have you ever been able to smell your neighbors' cooking (while you're outside counts) ? Yes. If it's a delicious aroma I sometimes drool.

Ever thought you'd like to join the neighbors for dinner because their food smelled so good (or maybe it didn't smell so good)? Not usually, but I would be curious about replicating the aroma.

What kind of pie do you remember having ala mode, with ice cream? First time was apple pie.

What recent or memorable flavors of ice cream did you enjoy? Does, sorbet count? In that case lemon sorbet a la cava.

Do you remember anything you ate while drinking coffee? I tend to eat something with my coffee {latte}, a biscotti, cookie, chocolate, pastry, cake, pie. It's one of life's small pleasures for me.

Have you ever eaten ice cream while drinking coffee? No.

Are there any foods and/or beverages you particularly like to pair together? I like a side of steamed plantains with EVOO and garlic with many of my meals.

When I was in high school I was sent to talk to an academic counselor about class electives or something, I don't remember, but I'll never forget this: The guy sat there eating chocolate chip cookies and drinking coffee. I was jealous. You ever been jealous of something good someone was eating or drinking, and if so can you give us a for instance? Don't recall being jealous of what someone else was eating, not even something I liked.

Enjoy your day.

BJH, thank you so much!

If you like pecans, what do you like them in or with and do you like them plain? I love them plain but I also like them in so many things...it's hard to name them all but I'll start with three - pecan pie, brownies, sweet potato casserole.

Have you seen any pecan trees? Yes, all the time.

Have you ever been able to smell your neighbors' cooking (while you're outside counts) ? Yes. And I used to have a Korean neighbor who made kimchi and I could REALLY smell that! LOL

Ever thought you'd like to join the neighbors for dinner because their food smelled so good (or maybe it didn't smell so good)? No, but that's not a bad idea.

What kind of pie do you remember having ala mode, with ice cream? Cherry pie, apple pie, peach pie.

What recent or memorable flavors of ice cream did you enjoy? Mardi Gras flavored ice cream!

Do you remember anything you ate while drinking coffee? I love to dip shortbread into coffee or English black tea.

Have you ever eaten ice cream while drinking coffee? Yes.

Are there any foods and/or beverages you particularly like to pair together? Oreos and milk. Apples and cheese. Cobbler and vanilla ice cream. Eggs and toast. Broccoli and cheese. There are many, many more.

When I was in high school I was sent to talk to an academic counselor about class electives or something, I don't remember, but I'll never forget this: The guy sat there eating chocolate chip cookies and drinking coffee. I was jealous. You ever been jealous of something good someone was eating or drinking, and if so can you give us a for instance? Hmmmm, let me think. I rather think not. If I want some sort of food, I'll just go get it or make it or whatever.
